At the heart of the island lies Aoshima Shrine, a colorful Shinto shrine surrounded by lush greenery. The shrine is believed to bring good fortune, especially for couples seeking blessings for marriage or childbirth. Connected to the mainland by Yayoi Bridge, Aoshima is also popular for its beautiful beaches and surfing scene, making it a must-visit spot for nature lovers and beachgoers alike.

Access: Driving is easiest but Aoshima is easily accessible by train, just a 30-minute ride from Miyazaki Station, or by a one-hour bus ride.
